Based on recent fieldwork and research in scientific collections and databases, we report 14 new records of R. marcellae, bringing the total number of verified occurrences up to 26, updating our understanding of this secretive species’ distribution in the tropical and cloud forests of the Sierra Madre Oriental in Mexico. The new records come from the Mexican states of Hidalgo, Puebla, San Luis Potosí and Veracruz. All the newly reported specimens are morphologically concordant with R. marcellae, but exhibit noteworthy variation.

The new species differs from all other members of the genus Rhadinaea by having: eight supralabials; 149–151 (male) ventrals; 63–77 (male) subcaudals; two large pale nuchal blotches, forming an incomplete collar that occupies two scales laterally and is bissected along the dorsal midline; a postocular pale marking consisting of a well-defined, narrow line beginning behind the upper posterior margin of the eye and extending posteriorly nearly horizontally until connecting with the nuchal blotches; and the dark ground color of the flanks extending to the lateral portion of the ventrals. The large nuchal blotches distinguish the new species from the other members of the R.decorata group, except for R.cuneata and some individuals of R.hesperia (pale nuchal marking one-scale wide in R.marcellae, absent in the other species). The condition of the postocular pal...

For many years the species were classified into series and groups of species based on morphological and allozyme data. However, most of the species have conservative morphology, and their phylogenetic relationships have not been resolved. Furthermore, recent studies employing molecular tools have shown that Syrrhophus diversity is highly underestimated. Here, we present a near-complete phylogenetic hypothesis based on mitochondrial data (16S rRNA, cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, and cytochrome b) and employing maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods. The Bayesian tree has high support values (posterior probabilities ≥0.95) whereas the maximum likelihood hypothesis has generally low values (bootstrap support <70). Both phylogenetic analyses recovered Syrrhophus as monophyletic and composed of four main, allopatric clades (E. symingtoni clade, E. longipes clade, E. modestus clade, and E. nitidus clade) concordant with geography. Based on the molecular and morphological data, we describe a new species from the state of San Luis Potosí, Mexico. The new species is most closely related to E. campi and E. cystignathoides from which it has a genetic distance >7% in 16S rRNA. Finally, based on the phylogenetic results, we resurrect E. rubrimaculatus from synonymy. Our results increase the number of species in the subgenus Syrrhophus to 41. We highlight the importance of efforts to study this important component of Mexican biodiversity.

The most recently described species, Rhadinaea eduardoi, was described based on a unique specimen collected in the Santa Catarina Juquila municipality in the Sierra Madre del Sur of southern Oaxaca, Mexico. Here, based on a reexamination of the holotype and the results of a phylogenetic analysis of the holotype of Rhadinaea eduardoi and representatives of several genera closely related to Rhadinaea, we reassessed the generic assignment of Rhadinaea eduardoi. In our phylogenetic hypothesis, R. eduardoi was nested within a strongly supported clade of Coniophanes fissidens samples, thus making Rhadinaea paraphyletic with respect to Coniophanes. Additionally, our reexamination of the holotype of Rhadinaea eduardoi revealed that the alleged presence of a subpreocular scale is only true on the right side of the head, and that this scale appears to be a malformed ...

Here, we employed environmental, molecular, and morphological data to evaluate the species boundaries within the short-nosed skink Plestiodon brevirostris from south-central Mexico, one member of the morphologically conservative P. brevirostris group. Our molecular dataset includes one mitochondrial and two nuclear loci. The mitochondrial fragment includes the full length of the gene coding for the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 protein, a segment of the gene coding for 16S ribosomal RNA, and flanking tRNAs. The nuclear dataset includes fragments of the genes coding for the megakaryoblastic leukemia 1 and RNA fingerprint 35 proteins. We employed phylogenetic reconstruction, analyses of population structure and morphological variation, and species delimitation methods (including the integration of the three kinds of data in a unified probabilistic framework) to evaluate species limits. Our results suggest that P. brevirostris represents four distinct species. The information provided by each kind of data allowed us to discern between alternative explanations for the observed patterns of geographic structure. Two of the newly recognized lineages are poorly differentiated morphologically but apparently differ in environmental preferences and are allopatric. Additionally, one lineage is microendemic and parapatric with respect to another one. Moreover, our phylogenetic analyses suggest that other taxa within the P. brevirostris group may represent species complexes. We discuss our results in the context of integrative species delimitation.

Nine of these species are reported for the first time for the country. The specimens were collected in the Cuatro Ciénegas Basin and Sierra La Madera mountains during 2007-2013. The modified distributions of species are discussed. The gaps in the distribution of many species suggest an undersampling of this group of insects in the north of Mexico.

These direct-developing frogs inhabit tropical regions of Mexico and northern Central America. Characterizing diversity within the group has been difficult due to high levels of phenotypic polymorphism within and between species. Because of these polymorphisms, each taxon has junior synonyms. Using a fragment of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), we investigated genetic diversity in the C. rhodopis Species Group. We then examined type specimens (including types of junior synonyms) to match nomenclature to geographically circumscribed genetic clusters. Our molecular analyses revealed four major lineages within the C. rhodopis Species Group: (1) a widely distributed clade in western Mexico, (2) a highland clade in eastern Mexico, (3) a widely distributed lowland clade occurring in eastern Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador, and (4) a haplotype from Volc an San Mart ın in Veracruz, Mexico. We identified the first clade as C. occidentalis, a taxon currently placed in the ecologically similar but phylogenetically distant C. mexicanus Species Series. In light of this we place C. occidentalis in the C. rhodopis Species Group and designate a lectotype and paralectotype for the species. The second and third clades inhabiting eastern Mexico and northern Central America correspond to C. rhodopis and C. loki, respectively. Additionally, we examined the taxonomic distribution of certain colour pattern traits and compensatory mutations in Domain III of the mtDNA 12S ribosomal RNA gene. Our recovery of the divergent Veracruz haplotype and extensive mtDNA structure within species indicates that additional taxonomic revision will be necessary.

We estimate a total of 864 species of reptiles in Mexico, to October, 2013. Including 159 genera and 40 families; representing 8.7% of the reptiles of the world. Of the 864 species, 417 are lizards, 393 snakes, 48 turtles, 3 amphisbaenians and 3 crocodiles. There are 493 endemic species recorded for the country. The states with a greater number of species are: Oaxaca (262), Chiapas (220) and Veracruz (200), while states with a less diverse reptile fauna are: Tlaxcala (36 species), Distrito Federal (39) and Guanajuato (43).

Additionally, our reexamination of the holotype of Rhadinaea eduardoi revealed that the alleged presence of a subpreocular scale is only true on the right side of the head, and that this scale appears to be a malformed preocular scale; also, a reduction in dorsal scale rows is present; and posterior enlarged maxillary teeth are grooved. Herein we consider that Rhadinaea eduardoi should be placed in the synonymy of Coniophanes fissidens. Consequently, we recognized only five species groups within the genus Rhadinaea.
